Simentic UI date picker with Angular js ng model

Working on semantic UI date picker with angularjs. Trying to bind ng-model with semantic UI date picker but value of picker is not getting assigned. I have also looked on select of date text box value is not getting filled by semantic control UI. So is there any better approach to get value?

// Code goes here

var app = angular.module('App', [])

app.controller('AppController', function($scope) {

  $('#example2').calendar({
    type: 'date'
  });

  $scope.getDate = function() {
    alert($scope.datevalue)
  }
})

Solution

  • That's because you need to notify angular that the model was changed.

    On onChange set the scope's value to the date.

    Lile this:

    // Code goes here

var app = angular.module('App', [])

app.controller('AppController', function($scope) {

  $('#example2').calendar({
    type: 'date',
    onChange: function (date,text) {
      $scope.datevalue = date;
    }
  });

  $scope.getDate = function() {
    alert($scope.datevalue)
  }
})

  <h3>Date only</h3>
  <div class="ui calendar" id="example2">
    <div class="ui input left icon">
      <i class="calendar icon"></i>
      <input type="text" placeholder="Date" ng-model="datevalue">
    </div>
  </div>
  <br/>
  <button ng-click="getDate()">Submit</button>
</body>

    Note you can wrap this with a directive if it's so important.
